Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Collective nouns
Okay, we know that a large congragation of geese is known as a "Gaggle" and I believe that aside from a herd, a large number of cows is known as a "murder".
What collective nouns do you feel appropriate for more mundane situations? Personally I'd go with a "Belm" of PE teachers, an "Unintelligible" of Brummies and perhaps a "Twat" of New Labour MPs.
